Fw: Gtk::Text

["Andrew Ryan" <anr1 anr1 com>]

 try something like this
Im not sure but I dont think you can do a get_text with a text widget only
 an entry widget.

 $length = $text->get_length;
 $text_>set_point(0) # this is probably optional;
$ezlan = $text->get_chars(0,length);
 print $ezlan;

 if you wanted to clear it out you would do somehting like this
 $length = $text->get_length;
 $text_>set_point(0);
 $text->forward_delete($length);

 Ive been doing a lot of ruby programming lately so if this doesnt work, its
 becasue im a forgetful moron
